Chapter 205: Fate
In the entire military operation to attack the warehouse, the Red Wolf Regiment and the reinforced regular army had only five dead and fourteen wounded, which was okay in terms of personnel ratio - in any case, they had only sixty-six soldiers, and the proportion of casualties was already close to one-third. The number of enemies killed is more than forty, and the number of slashed is not counted, and this proportion is not too exaggerated in the enemy army of more than 200 people. The mercenaries, who retreated quickly, carried the looted materials and entered the mountains before the night of the day. As they stepped into the mountains, the smoke and dust of the cavalry galloping could already be seen on the distant horizon. "How many, I think, about a hundred cavalrymen." Two veterans, old archers, judged.
This operation can be said to be a great success, but in Zhou Zhongmou's own opinion, it is difficult to say how much of a role it can play on the front line - as far as the materials in this warehouse are concerned, more than half of the warehouses are empty, and the contents should have been replenished in the morning. The rest of the supplies is about enough to supply a thousand men for a week's consumption, on which the enemy can fully make up for the losses caused by this defeat. Moreover, during the battle, it can be found that most of the garrisons in the warehouse are mercenaries, and the number of regular troops is not very large - the four so-called knights killed by Zhou Zhongmou were not soldiers of the Grizzly Kingdom according to Lin's identification afterwards, but just relatively high-end mercenaries. But merit is merit, and the plundered military salary makes these people very happy, it is at least a small fortune, and after going back, you can get a small amount of money, and the so-called knife head licking blood business can be like this.
Zhou Zhongmou did not participate in the plunder. However, according to the rules, a small leather bag was also placed in front of him. There are about a dozen gold and silver coins inside. This was the income of public plunder, distributed according to class, and I don't know how many of the mercenaries who participated in the plunder secretly stuffed into their pockets - and the same was true of the regular army soldiers. "No wonder mercenaries like to do this kind of task, easy and well-paid, the key is to have extra money. Zhou Zhongmou threw the leather bag in his hand up and down, and he didn't mind the gaze of others on the horse--this guy was the first to break into the enemy camp, and directly killed the head of the other party, and the ferocity seemed to be rare in the entire mercenary group--this was Lin's opinion.
Among the mercenaries, there are really unexpected masters, and the kind of warriors who kill strong enemies at one pick are not without legends. But why should the warriors who can really achieve this level of success sell their lives among the mercenaries? they have the opportunity to join the national army to obtain a knighthood and a stable income, at least in Lyn's memory, there are several great knights in the kingdom who are called knights with such legendary level power. Could the same be true of the man in front of her? However, Zhou Zhongmou himself made a judgment on these people: "Although the magic power has faded from this continent due to the generation of the Netherworld, there are still many remnants of the power in the bloodline - the humans in this world are stronger than normal, just like those horses. Moreover, those fighters who have good training and nutrition, and who have been tested in battle for a long time and have broken through, can also reach a considerable height - although there is no such thing as a fighting spirit, but in terms of physical strength, they are simply two species compared to 'ordinary people'. ”
On the way back, the mercenaries burned the bodies of their companions to ashes and, if possible, returned them to their relatives, along with their pensions - the kind of work that would have to be done if anyone wanted to be a decent mercenary group. Otherwise, there will be no cohesion at all, and don't think about becoming a mercenary group. It took about nine days for the mercenaries to return to their place of departure. Here Lynn delivered the task and then disbanded the team, and the mercenaries scattered in a hurry to have fun with the bounty. Zhou Zhongmou, of course, was received by the regimental commander, and the man named Alonzo greatly touted Zhou Zhongmou's good fight, and at the same time announced that he had given him a special bonus, and hoped that he would be able to use his talents more in the days that followed. On this mission, Zhou Zhongmou counted his income and still reached twenty-five gold coins, and it seemed that he really did this kind of dangerous work to make quick money - a farmer who worked hard in the fields all year round may not be able to earn five gold coins in a year, while Zhou Zhongmou could get more than a farmer's income in a few years by cutting a few people.
What do you do with the money? To be honest, there are no exciting entertainment projects in this world, at best, some not-so-bad food and drink, and then gambling and women can quickly make a mercenary spend all the money he has spent. Zhou Zhongmou didn't have much love for the food in this place, and the simple game of dice and cards in gambling was so crude that only women could make him a little fascinated. Thanks to the Otherworld, the people of this world still bathe often, so that they will not fall into the filthy and foul-smelling human beings like the European Middle Ages on Earth. And the women in this world are quite good, and many of them can still be sold. At this time, Zhou Zhongmou is also in need, he can't rely on Xiao Zuo Xiao Right to solve it, not to mention that Misha has disappeared, isn't it. For these women, Zhou Zhongmou didn't want to have any long-term relationship with them, and he didn't want to let them into his life - such a woman was only Misha in the past, and I'm afraid that if Misha can't be resurrected in the future, there won't be any more? But who knows for sure what will happen in the future?
These women who do business are a good relief for Zhou Zhongmou's body and mind, as a traverser who has tried to be a midnight cowherd to get living expenses, Zhou Zhongmou does not discriminate against these women, he has always been quite happy to give money, and he does not want to default or discount. The prices of these women are actually not expensive, basically one gold coin is enough to cover any of them for at least three days - these are all women who can be seen according to Zhou Zhongmou's aesthetic concept, and they are also considered high-level prostitutes in this world. However, there is always a limit to venting on a woman, and it is also a very boring thing to waste on a woman's belly all day long. Zhou Zhongmou was like this now, he thought it was more interesting to use a big sword to cut people - the earth cave on Remilet Island was no longer important to him. At the moment of leaving, his strength at that time had reached a critical point, and he was already able to touch the possibility of breaking out of this world - that hole was no longer necessary for him, and the experience of being brought out of this world by Bo Fu several times made him feel the possibility of penetration. Now that there is no hesitation about the future, all that remains is the desire not to let yourself be so bored and spend this time.
Zhou Zhongmou will definitely not be bored - the existence of the netherworld will eventually affect the present world, and on this continent, the netherworld is constantly temporarily overlapping with the present world in various places all the time, and some interesting things will happen in the overlapping places. The prelude to these things now appeared to Zhou Zhongmou - in Zhou Zhongmou's tent, on the table was a black oval "stone" that Hann had bought from an old woman who was setting up a stall for a small amount of money at a market rally. He thought it was funny, quite distinctive—an oval-shaped black stone with twisted and messy features, certainly interesting. Zhou Zhongmou saw this thing dangling in Hann's chest now, and then asked him to untie it and put it on the table for him to see. "I actually have this thing," Zhou Zhongmou said, looking at this thing, he didn't reach for it. When Hann heard Zhou Zhongmou's words, he immediately approached curiously and asked, "Mr. Sredgamir, do you know what this thing is?"
"Oh, the key of fate, Behemot. It's only going to get the destined people I should say you're lucky or unlucky? (To be continued......)
